Initialize py_type_printers in ext_lang_type_printers

When running gdb in the build directory without passing
--data-directory, I noticed I could provoke a crash by:

    $ ./gdb -nx ./gdb
    (gdb) ptype/o struct dwarf2_per_objfile

... and then trying to "q" out at the pagination prompt.

valgrind complained about an uninitialized use of py_type_printers.
Initializing this member fixes the bug.

I believe this bug can occur even when the gdb Python libraries are
available, for example if get_type_recognizers fails.

Tested by hand on x86-64 Fedora 26.  No test case because it seemed
difficult to guarantee failures.
